Cute house in a great location

We very much enjoyed our stay in Westport. The bedrooms were large and had a/c. The big kitchen and dining room had everything we needed, including a large table for family game night. The location was fantastic and close to everywhere we wanted to go.

We recently stayed at this amazing property for a family wedding. Everything was clean and well cared for. It's a very convenient location close to the beach. The beds are comfy, kitchen fully equipped and there's plenty of space to relax. Definitely a great find!

Comfortable, inviting, well equipped

Ellen was very friendly, welcoming and checked in several times by to text to see if we were doing well and if we needed anything! I loved her home, so inviting and the kitchen was well equipped and beds comfortable. AC in all rooms, so comfortable in the heat we had. The location was perfect, it was quiet but close to everything. Thank you Ellen and I loved the fern on the mantle and all your plants!

Beautifully renovated home

Beautifully renovated home that feels like home. Decor represents local artisans that are perfectly placed through the house. The rental had all the cooking and serving placements that we needed to entertain extended family members who live in the area. We loved our stay. Ellen was very attentive to any needs we had. We definitely will be back.

Cozy Winter Workspace

The space was well-appointed, especially kitchen and laundry/mudroom. The separation made wfh possible for me and my partner. The several separate heating zones made comfort possible while saving energy, so that was nice. Overall a cozy and peaceful stay, with forays to Boston, New Bedford, and Providence for dinners. Highly recommend this home and host. Ellen was especially responsive and helpful, checking in in non-intrusive ways that were actually super helpful. 1 surprise: the 2nd bathroom is the outdoor shower, which I'm guessing is more common to list in this area. Not a problem for two.

Exceeded expectations

The photos of Ellen's house on the VRBO website look good but the home is so much better in person. Everything about our stay exceeded expectations. The home has a peaceful cozy cottage feel. It is spotless, spacious and extremely well appointed. The furniture is not only beautiful but it is actually comfortable. The kitchen is better stocked than any VRBO kitchen we have seen and it has everything anyone could need to cook and serve a nice meal. As nice as the kitchen was we barely used it because there are too many wonderful restaurants nearby to eat at home. We really enjoyed the view and food at The Back Eddy and we hope to go to the Westport Rivers Vineyard on our next visit to Westport. Ellen's home is close to everything there is to see on the scenic south coast of Massachusetts. We were there to visit family but because of the home's great location we were also able to squeeze in a little sightseeing and enjoy the area's beauty. Ellen was the perfect host and we look forward to renting her lovely home again on our next visit to the area.

Great location!

Our family loved this house and location. So close to everything we wanted to see. Ellen was very helpful with suggestions and places to go. This was a perfect spot for our family of 8 (77 to 12 years old). We all enjoyed this house and all the amazing places we could go from Westport.

Thoughtful rental with great location

What a beautiful rental! The house had a lot of great space with beautiful decor. So many thoughtful touches like plugs by the beds, nightlights to guide your way to the bathroom at night and a nicely stocked kitchen! We were less than 10 minutes from a town with everything you need (Target, restaurants, etc.) and close enough for a quick trip to the water with impressive views. We were impressed by the amenities. Large closets, great wifi, reliable hot water, friendly hosts, what more could you ask for? We loved our stay!!

Nothing short of perfection

Ellen was beyond amazing as a host. We arrived really late (3am) and she was so kind to pickup some dinner for us and leave it as restaurants were closed that late. The place was fully equipped with everything and more. Location was perfect and we will be back for sure! Highly recommend!!!

Family Wedding Festivities

Ellen’s home was perfect for our family. Older home charm with modern updates. The outdoor shower was a great bonus. The house was spacious, clean and provided my family exactly what we needed. The check in process was very smooth. Ellen is very prompt in her responses and was flexible with our demands. I would highly recommend this house.

Lovely getaway

We had a very relaxing time in Westport and Ellen was an excellent host. The house was tidy, comfy, and well appointed. We enjoyed the outdoor seating and saw a couple hummingbirds stop by. Would recommend if you head this way to check out Gooseberry Island (get there early because parking is limited) as it's much less crowded than other nearby attractions. A chocolate croissant at the country store would also be a good idea, but then again, a chocolate croissant is rarely a bad idea.

All around perfect

The place was great! Very reasonably priced with how many it can sleep. We were really only there to sleep but there is a lot of space if people are staying longer term as well. Even though both bedrooms upstairs had AC units, there were many small fans placed through out the house. A small gesture that goes a long way for people who are used to always sleeping with a fan! The check in and out process was easy and the owner was friendly and accommodating. Overall the house was cute and spacious with a vacation but “homey” feel.

Can't Wait to Come Back!

We could not have been happier with this rental. The host Ellen is lovely, helpful and super easy to reach. The house is beautiful, and comfortable. The fully equipt kitchen is a huge plus--it is stocked with everything you need to cook--perfect for anyone who loves to shop the local food stands and then make dinner. We loved the location--close to Horseneck Beach, nature preserves, Westport, Tiverton and Little Compton--not to mention walking distance to the worlds best donuts. We can't wait to visit again.
